5:30pm Melbourne Storm vs. Canberra Raiders @ AAMI Park

The Melbourne Storm are clear at the top of the table and they shouldn’t be caught.

Looking to cut into the deficit was the Canberra Raiders last week, but they suffered a home loss to the Sydney Roosters and ended their minor premiership hopes.

This game could be another classic but the Storm are the firm favourites and rightfully so. They don’t have many weaknesses and although not expected to win this season, they continue to find quality players.

Canberra can be an enigmatic and untrustworthy side. For that reason and more, we’ll stick with the Storm.

4:05pm Cronulla Sharks vs. St George Dragons @ PointsBet Stadium

The Dragons scored a long overdue win against the Titans last week but they still gave up a concerning 28 points.

Cronulla also gave up plenty of points (26) in their loss to the Penrith Panthers and it was an untimely one. They’re in the hunt for the playoffs but that loss pushed them back to ninth on the ladder.

Sharks should be able to right the ship here and make a push for the playoffs.
